Expert reviews

This offers great balance between the freshest fruit and toasty maturity. That poise gives this impressive Champagne a tension, a high wire act that works superbly. It is rich, full of fruit but also with great depth. It will certainly age, so drink now or hold through 2019.

A rich note of smoky mineral heralds this harmonious Champagne, while the vibrant, citrusy acidity and finely detailed bead support flavors of poached apricot, black currant, spun honey and candied kumquat. Offers a fine, creamy finish. Disgorged February 2014. Drink now through 2026.

Blend & Origin

Moët Grand Vintage Blanc 2006

This blend comprises 42% chardonnay, 39% pinot noir and 19% meunier. The summer of 2006 saw contrasting conditions and a great deal of frost and summer hail, but the hot, dry weather of early September facilitated ripening. The sugar content of the grapes was relatively high, with an acidity level close to the average for the decade and a balance similar to that of 2002.
